The Flow of Water

May14

Wallsave Very Cute N Girl Skin With Water Drops Black White 143924 1920x1080I fell asleep standing in the shower this morning.  Now that’s something you don’t hear every day.

I was standing there, hot water streaming over my bald head (something I admit I will miss once my hair grows back), thinking about the meeting I am  attending this morning. Next thing I knew I was standing in the back yard, visualizing the St. John’s wort that grows in the grasses of my meadow.

One peculiar side effect of chemo is that my skin is more susceptible to heat.  When I woke up, my forearms were red. So I knew I’d been in the shower for a while.

But didn’t remember the flow of my thoughts.  Just the flow of the water.

The Purpose of My Blog

A meditation on the meaning of life

To give me something to do when I wake up before 5:30, which seems to be happening more frequently. Also, to reframe my challenges in life as lessons about love.
